Educational Research

Overview

The OIE's educational research endeavors provide metrics for benchmarking, institutional
reports, and research projects. Through Pepperdine's participation in several National
Surveys, OIE is able to indirectly measure student success and satisfaction. OIE also
partners with Pepperdine's undergraduate and graduate programs to collect additional
indirect survey data. In addition, OIE administers its own surveys and conducts Research Projects. Survey Results are available to the Pepperdine community members only.

Surveys administered by OIE are confidential (not anonymous). "Confidential" indicates
that survey participants are identifiable to the investigator, usually through a code
or ID number. Anonymous means that no identifiers are collected and that the participants
cannot be discerned by the investigator. Although, in theory it is possible to identify
a participant, OIE keeps all data completely confidential and does not provide any
information or reports that could compromise participants' privacy. In addition, all
OIE surveys are submitted to Pepperdine's Institutional Review Board (IRB) to further protect participants' privacy (see Data Stewardship for more information on how OIE handles survey data).
